Unregistered Sales
On March 19, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs of the Company in consideration of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares. Through April 25, 2023, the Company effectuated a share surrender and share recapitalizations resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 12,937,500 Class B ordinary shares. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 1,687,500 Class B ordinary shares to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full so that the Class B ordinary shares would represent, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. On April 25, 2023, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option; thus, 1,250,000 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. On June 5, 2023, following the expiration of the remaining over-allotment option, the Sponsor forfeited 437,500 Class B ordinary shares.
Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 14,300,000 Private Placement Warrants, including 1,000,000 additional Private Placement Warrants to cover over-allotments, for an aggregate purchase price of $14,300,000, in a private placement to the Sponsor.
These issuances were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
